"Well….what is it?" Jacob asked, almost afraid to hear the answer.
When Angela turned back to him, her face was covered in a look of terror. Her eyes were wide open and she stood there, staring at him, seemingly trying to scream, though no sound came out. She was breathing heavily.
"Angel, are you OK?" he whispered. "Who was it?...It wasn't Sean, was it?" he finally asked when she didn't respond to any of his earlier questions.
All she could do was nod.
"Oh God. Um, what are we going to do?" he asked out loud as he looked wildly around the room. His eyes fell on the old chair. Picking it up, he ran to the door. "Angel, I want you to open the door, and quickly get out of the way. OK?"
She nodded, and on his say so, she threw open the door, and stepped out of his way. He ran through, wielding the chair. He felt it come into contact with something hard, and saw Sean Trelawney fall to the ground out of the corner of his eye. Throwing the chair onto his prone body, Jacob ran towards the car, with Angela running close behind.
"Give me the keys!" he called as he was closer to the driver's side. She tossed them to him and they both got in.
Speeding away, Jacob looked into the rearview mirror to make sure Sean was still on the ground in front of their hotel door. The ground, however, was empty of his body. Jacob shivered and looked forward to the highway ahead of them as he pulled out of the parking lot.
"What's wrong?" Angela asked.
"Sean's gone already."
Angela looked back to confirm what he'd said and screamed. Jacob peered into the rearview once again and froze, his foot on the gas and his eyes on the mirror, on the bloody man in the back seat.
